WINEMAKING
Immediately after harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed and lightly crushed into open-top fermenters and allowed to cold soak for a few days. The juice is fermented at low temperatures to preserve the more delicate flavors with manual punch-downs 3 times a day. Each variety is fermented separately. 30% of the wine is aged in oak then blended.
